Formed in 2010, Troubadour has steadily earned its reputation as one of the Midwest’s premier live country acts. Fusing the spirit of polished classic country with the grit of ‘90s honky-tonk and the edge of modern country sounds, Troubadour delivers an electrifying live experience that keeps dance floors packed and festival crowds coming back for more. The band is anchored by four seasoned musicians who each bring decades of performance experience and authentic country soul to the stage:  Romyn Hanks – Lead guitar and vocals, Rick Schroeder – Steel guitar, guitar, and vocals, Rock Menge – Bass guitar and vocals, and Jesse Schmidt – Drums and vocals  These four artists aren’t just bandmates—they’re road warriors who’ve lived the country music life from the inside out. From dusty dancehalls and roadside honky-tonks to county fairs and packed festival grounds, Troubadour has traveled the highways of America, making memories with every crowd and leaving a trail of high-energy shows behind them. Whether you’re two-stepping under the stars or raising a longneck in your hometown bar, Troubadour’s blend of tight harmonies, powerful musicianship, and undeniable stage presence makes every show feel like Saturday night at its best. Their sound pays homage to country legends while forging a path all their own—a true reflection of the genre’s past, present, and future.

Tapers notes: Recording 4 of 13 from Muskie Days 2026. I wasn't familiar with this band, and the type of music they covered was definitely out of my wheelhouse. But, the lead singer has a fantastic voice, making most of these songs worth listening to. The new "bro country" stuff does nothing for me, but on the 80's/90's country, I dug it for the most part. Also a few classic country numbers thrown in for purists like me, ha. Overall a good set, the band was fantastic, and sound here is great.
